Yet 85000 people die each year of alcohol abuse. Legalizing marijuana as a substitute for alcohol would save thousands of lives each year. I would pick my battles, this issue seems very minor in comparison to the real problems.

MDMA would be a much better substitute for alcohol, since it doesn't cause long-term cognitive impairment or lung cancer.

Of course, I don't encourage anyone to use drugs that are currently illegal, since what you're getting is not pure.

Either way, it's off-topic.

I think you are seriously misunderstanding the normal use case for alcohol.
